my earliest memory of Andrew Wyeth!

Just the other day, a fellow co-worker reminded me that we are to die someday and that is why he thinks about it frequently.

I am very sad that it is to day for me. (to think of death)

My earliest memories include the experience of viisting the Baldwin’s Bookbarn and spotting a book or print by Mr. Wyeth.

But, I will hold the Pirates image in my mind everyday, I favor that memory much more than death in general.

with sadness,
D.
more rememberances, add yours too!

In a moment the artist is off on another ramble, toward a new attic or field or relationship or controversy. More than likely, he will wander back to Betsy. She calls Wyeth "you old pirate"; he must know she is the anchor." click here for full story
